League of Duelists

5264803 · December 25, 2013, 6:16pm

Hello everyone, I would like to make a suggestion for a kind of “league”.

It would be called League of Duelists:

The games would consist of 1v1 fights with interceptors of tier 3-5 The games could be divided in 2 types:

Battle without modules, just weapon of choice (and implants).
Battle with modules. Everything is valid, weapons, missiles, modules…
Pulse Laser/Doomsday/proximity mine/attack drone/small missiles off.

The list with the results would be updated every time a battle happened, to see who’s winning the most battles.

Everyone is welcome and you can write here in this thread if you want to play.

I’ll take the T2/5 slots.

Dueling is what I’ve been doing since before they implemented Custom games. (when you used the lobby system in the chat-bar.)

Good luck.

Out of curiousity, why not use R1 ships where implants and modules have the least effect?

3425735 · December 25, 2013, 6:54pm

There aren’t enough choices in T1.

It makes it somewhat dull. Not to mention, it’s the training Tier, so it’s not really balanced.

T2 is where the game reaches a perfect balance. With its low, but perfect amount, of modules and a good selection of weapons,

It’s the epitome of the game. I find that T2/5 have the best balances, currently.

3425735 · December 25, 2013, 7:06pm

Personally, I’d like to see a game-type where there is no captain, but you must still kill all of the enemy.

This would be perfect for a 1 vs 1 game-mode.

I’ve been using the captain type for a while, but the +75% damage increase to both captain’s main guns can change things a little too much.

Capture the beacons is the only true mode for this, currently, So it would be nice If there was a better variant. (Still in the realistic setting, of course.)

5264803 · December 25, 2013, 9:23pm

the essence of the theme in combat 1v1, no seizures of lighthouses or anything. a simple battle in which players compete in skill games on interceptors. T2 is not suitable for such battles.

3425735 · December 25, 2013, 11:01pm

I beg to differ.

T2 Interceptors are my main specialty. So long as they are used right, I can vouch for their prowess on the battlefield.

They are the perfect types for matches for low module spam,

And you’ll get much more out of your opponent this way because he’ll have no choice but to aim.

With this, you’ll be restricting less.

You won’t have to complain about an ECM’s stasis, this way. I have no complaints on it,

But others just might. Don’t write off T2 so easily, I’ll fight you for it. Feel free to use any tier against my Stiletto. I won’t hold back.

T2 interceptors? But there’s not enough energy regen to mantain a continuous AB.

3425735 · December 25, 2013, 11:17pm

Empire interceptors can keep up a continuous thrust.

On other interceptors, if you can’t fight while using your energy properly, then you’re doing it wrong.

ECM’s have energy drain, CO’s have white noise and adaptive camo, and there is such a thing as letting go of shift.

While fighting, if you are always using thrusters then your opponent will always be able to hit you. It’s better to vary in speed, and

keep shifting between fast/slow while taking advantage of your strafe options.

Main Point: Don’t Panic.

P.s. Even without active modules, a t2 interceptor is on par with a T3 without actives. Yes, the T3 can gain more speed,

But Speed isn’t everything in a fight.

T2 can not withstand straight up 1v1 vs T3, active modules or no modules, no matter. Amount of passives, access to weapon modifiers and implants gives a huge advantage to t3 interceptors in a simple, out of context duel. Maybe r6 vs R7 isnt that bad, but r8s and r9s creates a huge difference

Perhaps, however, the bottom line isn’t a fight against higher tiers. Like in any normal match,

you’ll fight against the same tier. In truth, the difference between a T1 ship and a T2 is a much larger gap than a T2 against a T3. I’ve personally used my Stiletto against T3/4, and 5. I beat some of them.

Another bottom line is the actual skill of the pilot. If the other pilot is better than me, then of course I’d lose. But if I’m better, it’s more fun to give the other player a handicap.

True but due to limitations of T2 ships 1v1 will be a simple test to low ping and better aim, customization is almost non existent and you cant really come up with variety of builds and moves in a T2 ship, while using higher tier ships for a duel will provide wider field for build and customization and making them have higher impact on an outcome and not only simple mouse control.

3425735 · December 26, 2013, 1:12am

That’s the whole point. Aim, don’t spam. It’s a good combination. It leaves you with just the

right amount of active modules. Not too much, not too little. It also requires you to actually aim.

5264803 · December 26, 2013, 2:32am

If you want to fight Т2 whether you Duelist to all comers at the technical level? make the list?

3425735 · December 26, 2013, 2:37am

I’ll come forth to challenge you soon. If I beat you, I’d like you to join Behemoth, if you’re available.

He’s with us in WPK, and very confortable I must add.

3425735 · December 26, 2013, 4:15am

Sounds good, I’m more interested in the match itself. Are you using my method of bringing in corp mates now?

I’ll make a list of the challenges I take on, here.

Loss: T5:

Takamina 10 matches, 5 in the U.S.A server and 5 in Europe.

Everything allowed. CO vs ECM (I used the ecm) Capture the Beacons.

10:0 KnightMare CO VS ECM T5 - Battle with modules. Everything is valid, weapons, missiles, modules…

He asked himself to join the corporation, we don’t go challenging people and “pink-slipping” them as cars, that’s not the atmosphere we want to generate

Use this site for better organisation:

http://challonge.com/

It is easy to manage, much better than a forum, and you can do it live while hosting the tournament.

Here is an example what we did:

The problem was that it took about 2 hours for these 20 games, but it was fun!

And please sign me up, or let me know if I can help hosting this challonge.com…

I am willing to participate against you on the T5. wait message in the game.
